"Liquid Conversations" @ Supernova: Rise of the Comment Mashup DJ Artist & The Share Pimp

Our recent Liquid Conversations panel at Supernova covered some interesting territory about how blog posts & particularly comments are becoming more distributed, shared semi-privately among friends & followers.

in particular, i think there's a really interesting conversation (heh) that's becoming more important around the role of what i call the Comment DJ Mashup Artist, or the Share Pimp -- that is, not the person who creates original content, but rather the person who promotes / shares / pimps it out to other audiences, whether that be via Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Mixx, Facebook News Feed, FriendFeed, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, SlideShare, embeds (see below), etc etc. 

i think this is a really important function, one that you often see performed by someone like a Robert Scoble or a top Digger (or occasionally yours truly).  we may not be original, but we amplify signal like nobody's business.  this particular audience is one that website owners & content creators should be paying more attention to... they may even be more important than the person who creates.

here is the TechCrunch writeup & another by Elliott NG / CNreviews:
